Abstract

In summary, it appears to HSRC staff that the issue of the use of cargo miles as an exposure measure is fairly clear-cut. Since cargo miles have little to do with the opportunity to crash, they are not a valid measure of exposure. Instead, if cargo-mile based rates are to be used, the comparisons made must be between the cost of the injuries relative to the benefits of the increased cargo miles.
